Rinse Presents: Brackles Out Now

Rinse Presents - Brackles

After a long time coming, the DJ/Producer Brackles has finally released his debut album with the once pirate London radio station Rinse FM. Taking influence from UKG, House, UK Funky and even Grime and Dubstep as a producer, this album is a blend of all those mentioned  above and more, creating a sound appreciated by fans of all different sub genres of electronic music.

Throughout this album we hear tracks from both ends of the spectrum, from the grimy riddim ‘Too Much’ and aggressive tribal sounding ‘X Ray Specs’ to the smoother songs with vocals from female artists such as Lily Mckenzie, Terri Walker, Cherri V and Meleka, making this diverse album certainly worth the purchase.
